What a sweet little doll. I love baby dolls too. Have you seen the "reborn dolls" that people do? They are amazing.

And by the way - cloth diapers are still around. I use them. There are hundreds of different brands now, and some are unbelievably cute. Mamas embellish them, dye them, embroider them, applique them - they're made from stuff like bamboo velour and hemp and minky microfiber. It's a whole other subculture, the cloth diapering community. I bet you could find somebody who'd make you some doll-sized ones. :)

I love babies, embroidery and old fashioned Baby Clothes!! I am the designer for the pattern line "The Old Fashioned Baby". My designs reflect my interest in vintage infant's and children's clothing, as do my classes, many of which include techniques and embellishments used from the late 1800's to the 1950's. I teach these techniques around the United States and publish some of my designs and ideas in Sew Beautiful magazine. And I love Roses and all the flowers in My Garden (and yours too, probably).
